Introduction to Quantum Computing: From a Layperson to a Programmer in 30 Steps

Hiu Yung Wong is an Associate Professor and Silicon Valley AMDT Endowed Chair in Electrical Engineering, at San Jose State University (SJSU). He received his Ph.D. degree in EECS from UC Berkeley in 2006. From 2006 to 2009, he worked as a Technology Integration Engineer at Spansion. From 2009 to 2018, he was a TCAD Senior Staff Engineer at Synopsys.

Given the important role of electrical engineers in the quantum computing industry, he created a new master's specialization in quantum computing at SJSU. He is also one of the founding faculties of the MS degree program in Quantum Technology at SJSU, sponsored by NSF. Based on his quantum computing teaching experience to electrical engineers, he authored the book "Introduction to Quantum Computing: From a Layperson to a Programmer in 30 Steps" with teaching videos available on Youtube (@quantum_computing). He also created a class on Quantum Computing Architectures (available on YouTube) and Cryogenic Nanoelectronics to train the next generation of electrical engineers in quantum computing. He is an organizer and speaker in the Real-World Quantum Computing Workshop with Lawrence Livermore National Lab to orient engineering students to work on superconducting quantum computers.

Dr. Wong has given numerous tutorials to promote quantum computing. He was invited to give a tutorial at the ISQED conference and IEEE Quantum Week 2023, and a public seminar for FormFactor, Inc. in 2022 (> 300 attendees). He has also given quantum computing talks in companies such as Fujitsu Research of America, eBay Inc, and Synopsys Inc. and study groups such as Zen4Quantum and Washington DC Quantum Computing Meetup. He gives yearly quantum computing workshops for socially-disadvantaged high school students sponsored by NSF funding.

He received the McGraw Research Award from ASEE in 2022, the NSF CAREER award and the Newnan Brothers Award in 2021, and Synopsys Excellence Award in 2010.

His education and research works have produced 1 book, 1 book chapter, more than 100 papers, and 10 issued patents.

Hiu Yung Wong 是聖荷西州立大學 (SJSU) 電機工程的副教授及矽谷 AMDT 受贈講座教授。他於 2006 年在加州大學伯克利分校獲得電機與計算機科學 (EECS) 的博士學位。從 2006 年到 2009 年，他在 Spansion 擔任技術整合工程師。從 2009 年到 2018 年，他是 Synopsys 的 TCAD 高級工程師。

鑑於電機工程師在量子計算產業中的重要角色，他在 SJSU 創建了一個新的量子計算碩士專業。他也是 SJSU 量子技術碩士學位課程的創始教師之一，該課程由國家科學基金會 (NSF) 贊助。基於他對電機工程師的量子計算教學經驗，他撰寫了《量子計算入門：從外行到程式設計師的 30 步驟》一書，並在 YouTube 上提供教學影片 (@quantum_computing)。他還創建了一門關於量子計算架構的課程（可在 YouTube 上找到）以及低溫納米電子學，以培養下一代量子計算的電機工程師。他是與洛倫斯利佛摩國家實驗室共同舉辦的現實世界量子計算研討會的組織者和演講者，旨在引導工程學生從事超導量子計算機的工作。

Wong 博士已舉辦多場教程以推廣量子計算。他受邀在 ISQED 會議和 IEEE Quantum Week 2023 上進行教程，並於 2022 年為 FormFactor, Inc. 舉辦了一場公開研討會（參加人數超過 300 人）。他還在富士通美國研究所、eBay Inc. 和 Synopsys Inc. 等公司以及 Zen4Quantum 和華盛頓特區量子計算聚會等學習小組中進行過量子計算的演講。他每年為社會弱勢的高中生舉辦量子計算工作坊，該活動由 NSF 資助。

他於 2022 年獲得 ASEE 的 McGraw 研究獎，2021 年獲得 NSF CAREER 獎和 Newnan Brothers 獎，並於 2010 年獲得 Synopsys 卓越獎。

他的教育和研究成果包括 1 本書、1 章書籍、超過 100 篇論文和 10 項已授權專利。
